The first of two ascents a week apart. Up the boulder filled gully, then a series of ledges to the top. Nothing more than some class 3, mostly loose class 2 on the front end. Nice summit (there are two, so I climbed them both).

Came in from Lovell Canyon Road.Drove dirt road to dead end. Hiked up drainage to limestone ridge. Dropped down off of ridge a couple hundred feet and back up to Indecision Point,a limestone peak along the way. Dropping down another 200 ft before scrambling to the summit.

For a long time I have looked for a route,non tech,up the east side and on to the ridge. I finally broke through and got onto the ridge. I wasn't sure if it would go but it did. It connects with the east gully trail at the west end of the ridge.
This makes for a nice loop.
I placed a much needed canister at the peak.

Black Magic (early April 2008) Back after almost 6 years. Very nice route though Shirley got the fun pitches (odds!) - felt funner than balls!!

Lotta Balls (New Year's Eve 2002) My wife and I climbed this route on New Year's Eve. What a blast!! The great part about this route is that relative beginners can enjoy some 5.8 climbing high up since the crux is bolted. A great mix of face, crack, and dihedral climbing at mostly the 5.6 level. Did the route in 4 pitches (not 3) and got to swap leads near the top.

Climbed three single pitch routes to the right of Lotta Balls - Magic Mirror (5.5), Kindergarden Cop (5.7+) and the left crack on the face to the right of Magic Mirror (5.7?). Magic Mirror is rated 5.5 by Todd Swain, but my partner and I felt that its at least 5.7! The main portion of the climb is the ~100 ft dihedral with a crack. Its quite easy to climb the crack initially, but it gets off-width in the middle, and the faces of the diherdal are quite smooth here! We felt Magic Mirror was more strenuous than Kindergarden Cop (which is on the face to the left of Magic Mirror). Fun climbs all in all!
